Olivia's pov
"As for the red robe, you are involved in the trading section in the pack. We have lots of visitors and there are few people to attend to the customers," He continued and the red robe captives were sent away by another guard. I felt my heart racing as I don't want to be put in a position that won't favor
me.
"The black robe ones. You are the inner pack workers. You are involved in the arrangement of the pack. There must be nothing out of place that might get the notice of the alpha. And if he does find out, you all will have yourself to blame for the thing that will fall on you," He ruthlessly said.
I felt my hands turn sweaty and so did the others In my team. What are we then if the others have been assigned to their duties?
"The blue group. Each and everyone of you are entitled to work in the pack. But you are to serve the new mistress, " He said coldly and walked away.
My heart turned cold when I heard this. What mistress was he talking about?
We were pushed away by a guard and I was sent back to my small room. The familiar sound of the door being locked drifted into my ears but I didn't say a word as I stood there in the dark trying to understand what happened today.
I walked to the corner of the room and slowly sat down as today's event recapped in my brain slowly.
"What are you still stressing about?" Mia's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"N-nothing," I muttered subconsciously, as I felt lost. If truly the Alpha took another maiden then which means that he is truly trying to get over me.
That means he really meant the rejection and wants to make sure to get rid of me.
That won't be so easy!
"I have to meet the Alpha," I said to myself as I got up ready to walk up to the door and bang it for the guards to open up for me.
"For what exactly? What do you want to meet him for? Ha has already rejected us, Olivia. I do not want to hear any hurtful words from him again," Mia's voice sounded sad and lonely and I felt something prick my soul.
I stopped right on my tracks as I strec ahead into empty space, deep in thoughts," I am sorry," I muttered as I turned and slowly made my way back.
"It's fine. You just have to be careful around here. The last thing I'll want is for us to get into the power struggles here. Now that there's a new mistress, I hope she just be his other ordinary sl**ts on bed," She cursed angrily and a smile crossed my face.
"You are right. I really have to be careful here. I do not know who the mistress is just yet and I have to be very careful," I nodded looking ahead.
My ears twitched a bit as I heard the sounds of footsteps and I smelt the familiar scent of werewolves.
What are they doing here?
It was only the guards that were meant to stay here. Or are they changing their shifts now?
I got up slowly filled with curiosity as I waited in anticipation of if truly they were coming for me or if they were just passing by.
I wanted patiently for any signs or whatever and that was when I looked down at the door and saw some shadows.
And minutes after, there was silence.
It was only the sounds of my heart beat that was heard at this time. Nothing more. I was confused about what was going on outside.
Was it that the alpha sent additional guards to come check up the post?
Did they think I was going to escape from this place?
"Do you think they will care about that? After all the alpha only sees you as a trophy from his 'war" Mia said sarcastically.
I stared at the knob that had started turning and was nervous as to what was going on there. Soon then the door opened and standing right there at the door was a very young blonde haired girl in a white gown.
I stared at her for a while with complicated emotions. What was such a young child doing here?
I felt my heart tightened when I thought about the fact that my people were killed too. Even infants and those ones that were just brought to life.
"His highness seeks your presence,"She sounded so fragile as she stood there dressed In white.
"Why does his highness seek my presence?" I asked myself, confused. But I still walked up to her as I don't have any choice but to follow if I want to survive here.
"Please follow me while I direct you to where he is," She pointed her right hand out and walked ahead before I did. I walked out from the room confused at what was going on.
I wanted to ask her what the matter was but I thought maybe she was too young to be asked such questions.
We both walked along the quiet hallway, neither of us speaking to the other as we made our way ahead.
It was still morning and the pack was bustling with people going on with their daily lives.
But this part of the palace was very quiet and out of reach.
"His highness asked me to take you to this room. You will see him there all dressed up. All you have to do is obey every one of his commands if you do not want the guards to find out and throw you in the criminal dungeon," She said softly and knocked on the door and waited patiently for a response.
"Who?" His deep and cold voice resonated from the other side of the door.
"It's Lili, your highness. I have brought the captive you requested I bring," She said softly with fear and respect.
"Bring her in," He replied. Lily nudged me and I went in and with that she left the place quietly.
On getting inside a dark and gloomy room appeared before me. I could smell the smell of burnt papers and I wondered what was going on. As I didn't hear the Alpha's voice when I got it.
When we were outside the door. His voice sounded so close like he was leaning against the door
"You called for me."I said, breaking the silence as it was freaking me out. Even Mia was on alert when she saw that he didn't come out.
I had to calm her down not to take over. If she does, I do not know what will happen.
"You still haven't given up the fact that I rejected you as my mate?" He sounded from behind me and I flinched back, scared.
My heart races in millions as that really freaked the hell out of me. What was she doing at my back?
Does he want to kill me?
"I have been waiting for a long time to see my mate. And when I got my mate hond and found out my mate turned out to be you. Do you think I will give up so easily what I have been looking for, for a very long time?" I asked him, feeling angry over the fact that he sees all this as insignificant.
It was just like I was the only one that felt all of this. It was like the mate bond had nothing to do with him.
I could still hear the whispering of Mia and I knew she was very hurt right now. She was really hurt.
"You truly haven't given up on those stupid thoughts of yours. Do you really think I'll leave everything behind and choose you a slave as my mate? Do you even think you are worthy to think of yourself as one?" He asked rudely as he grabbed me by my neck, shocking me.
I held onto his hands as I felt the power he was transferring to the grip, and I knew with one slight mistake he was going to break my neck.
"Stop! Stop it! You are choking me!" I tried gasping for air as I felt my air pipe being strangled to death.
I gripped his hands as I tried to pull away but he held me and grabbed that hand that I tried to get off his grip.
"Tonight, you are going to watch as I make you lose those stupid thoughts out of your head. For kow you just have to watch,' He said coldly, to me as he pulled me to a hard surface and tied me to it.
He walked to the corner of the wall and turned on the light. My eyes shut down due to the blinding light and I slowly opened my eyes adjusting to the surroundings and that was when I saw it.
